Yes, I would like to know this as well, as I currently carry my second SIM card in the battery compartment and swap them when I need to.

you can copy your sim cards, into one sim card. so you don't have to swap and don't need extra non-original hardware

How the hell would I do that? Two different plans (carriers) on one card? I havent ever heard of that before

I have heard of a single sim card which has two sims in it provided by the operator and the connections are just placed on both side.To select u still have to switch of your mobile phone and switch it on again or something like that.I had seen this done by one of the intelectuals on my symbian forum...check search there..
I still use P800 and a t100...sad but true.
In India though orange does provide 2 mobile numbers on the same sim card...pls check with your local operator

I'd like to have two identical SIMS. One in my 'handbag' phone (for want of a better expression) which is my T68i for the weekend and one in my P800 for during the week. I know that if they were both switched on simultaneously they would cause confusion so I would need to make sure they weren't on together.
Is this possible? How would I do it? Do I need two identical SIM cards copied or will Orange provide it?
Cheers.

No it is not possible.
It is also ilegal.

there is a kit sold here that is only for nokia phones, which consists of a little chip with some wiring to a connection sim card, which is inserted in the phone sim slot, and the actual 2 simcards are connected with all kinda flat wiring to this "connection sim", and when switching on the phone it will ask which card it should use. All so flat it fits in battery compartment. But as said, only for (cheap) Nokia phones. Think of the letter Y and you get an idea how the kit looks with these sim cards.

@teamedition,
Sorry mate, PC-Mobile is talking crap. In the UK, at least, it is totally legal. So legal, in fact, that the service is provided by Vodafone Connect, a service provider for the largest mobile phone network in the UK!
Unfortunately, they are the only UK provider to offer this service and Orange, as yet, are unable to provide it.
You could port your number to Voda - it is a system whereby one SIM is 'active' and the other 'dormant' and you are able to switch between them by switching one off and the other on. The most popular application of this is people who have fixed carphones and wish to use a separate 'handbag phone' (to user your phrase
) with the same phone number.
Hope that's of some use,
Dave
